Dietary Guidance for Common Digestive Conditions
IBS
Patients with IBS may find that keeping a food diary and identifying triggers can help them develop a suitable diet plan. In some cases, a low-FODMAP diet or similar dietary adjustments under professional supervision may be recommended.
Constipation
Following a high-fiber diet, staying well hydrated, getting enough exercise and establishing healthy bowel habits can support the management of constipation. However, each patient must be guided in making dietary adjustments that are right for them.
Fatty Liver
A balanced diet, the right number of calories and physical activity can all play a role in the management of Fatty Liver. In addition, if applicable, a patient may be advised to reduce their weight where appropriate under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
